Hey y'all! I just wanted to let you know that the ability to walk has been implemented into the IE Mod located here: http://rien-ici.com/iemod/pillars_of_eternity

In addition, the mod has many other nice features that help to restore the feel of the old Infinity Engine. I hope that you enjoy it.

[Patch notes for 1.03]

No walk/run toggle?

 It is possible to be able to be turned on with some command from the ~ menu since it is already in

(minor spoilers)

 

When you enter the first village for the first time you walk for a time

 

 ..hope I did the spoilers right...

that's very interesting anyone knows the command?

 

 

O RLY?

Edit: Oh yeh, there was that one dude who said he just couldn't play the game unless there was walk in it. Most people found that kinda funny.

 

Well that's just silly. I'm not going to stop playing the game over it. It's definitely a prevalent annoyance for me though.

[Game freezes]

I'm playing as a fighter and it's freezing for me as well.

Faustianechoes your not alone at all. Many people have stressed the importance of walking

But your questions are not welcome in these forums. just a warning so you don't get stampeded by

People saying your stupid for asking for it

 

Well I'm not petty enough to get into an argument with other people over it. I know what I like and I know what I've seen in other games and I know what works. Not going to waste my time arguing about it, I'm too busy playing the game. It's just an annoyance, not a game breaker.

Bobthe the slow animations arent walking animations at all...they are running animations but slowed.

There is a huge difference. Especially for immersion

Yeah I tried that it breaks immersion even more lol. Guess I'll wait and hope the next patch adds a toggle.

You can't walk and if you mention you want it everyone attacks you in this forum

And calls you an idiot for wanting it

Why would they do that? We can't all agree that CRPG's like this should allow a toggle between running and walking? Fallout 1 and 2 did it and nobody complained. It just seems like an overlooked feature or something. Hopefully the upcoming patch adds it.

 

 

I'm just a bit confused as to why the current features are not sufficient.

 

 

The bottom line for me is immersion. My group of adventurers are not going to constantly run in every situation. Especially if they're "walking" through town or "walking" through a store. I notice it and it eats at me and breaks the immersion. I suppose its cool that it doesn't bother some people, but it definitely bothers me and a search reveals that I'm not the only one.

They should remove walking from npcs as well. So Everyone has to run all the time

Now you're just being silly. Not sure why this would cause an argument.

Personal preferences aside, there is no "run/walk" mode that I am aware of, but there is "half speed" and "double speed". The difference is that these settings affect everything, not just your non-combat movement speed. But if you want a slower pace just use half-speed. Or enter sneak mode which is really just slower movement. Personally I am almost always in double-speed when not in combat, especially since sneaking slows you down. Double-speed sneak-mode FTW.

 

Well thats dumb... why can't it be like Fallout 1 or 2 where you can walk or run? I hope they add it in the upcoming patch.

How do you fly? It breaks my immersion that in a fantasy setting I cannot mount a mighty dragon steed and soar through the clouds up high.

You can do that in this game?

[How do I walk? (As in not run)]

How do you run in Baldur's Gate? It broke my immersion having my guys casually slow stepping without urgency whilst maneuvering during battle.

What does that have to do with my question?

[How do I walk? (As in not run)]

Tired of my guys constantly running in certain areas. Would like to switch to walking it increases my immersion. Nothing breaks immersion more than a group of people constantly jogging and running around when you normally wouldn't do that.
